Simulation Study of the Muon Content in Air Showers — •Mona Erfani¹, Markus Risse¹, Mariangela Settimo^{1, 2}, and Alexey Yushkov¹ — ¹University of Siegen — ²LPNHE, Universites Paris 6 et Paris 7, CNRS-IN2P3, Paris, France

Ground muons produced by extensive air showers are messengers of the primary cosmic ray mass and high-energy hadronic interactions. They are an important component of air showers and have already been an attractive subject in various experimental studies. In this study, CORSIKA air showers have been simulated for different primary cosmic rays like photon, proton and iron at energies between 10¹⁶ eV to 10¹⁸ eV without thinning of shower muons and different observables of these ground muons are extracted and analyzed.
